(Reporter: "Why does this matter to you so much?")

Find a way to stop, the, the killing there (in Gaza) then they will not vote for the Harris candidate for myself. That’s a different question. I’m going to vote. I’m going to vote for Harris. But I know a lot of people who won’t. And there are 100,000 delegates- There are 100,000 voters in Michigan who voted uncommitted, and there were uncommitted voters across the country. This race is still very close, and it’s still going to be determined by, maybe a few hundred thousand if that many voters across a few swing states.”

STORYLINE:
Some protesters from the Abandon Biden movement unfurled a protest sign late Monday that read “STOP ARMING ISRAEL” in the Florida delegation section a few minutes after President Joe Biden began his speech.
Other convention attendees responded to the protest by chanting “We love Joe” and holding up their banners in support of the president.
The sign was quickly wrestled away from the protesters and the lights in that section of the convention were turned off.
The protest group, which is pushing for third-party candidates, has been campaigning against Biden’s reelection campaign since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
Israel’s counterattack in Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, and devastated much of the territory.
The war has plunged the territory of 2.3 million people into a humanitarian catastrophe, with aid groups now fearing an outbreak of polio.
